Medical Physics Medical Conferences

Medical Physics is the incorporation of physics theories, concepts, and methods in medicine and
healthcare. The medical physicist often practices in hospitals and universities. Medical physics is also
widely known as biomedical physics, medical biophysics, or applied physics in medicine.

Medical physicists working at the hospital focus on clinical service and consultation with physician
colleagues in radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, and radiation oncology. The medical
physicist practicing at the university level is categorized in two areas of activity. Biomedical physicists
focus on research and development in many areas including cancer, heart disease, and mental illness.
The second area of focus for a medical physicist is teaching medical physics students, medical students,
resident physicians, and technologists.
